Many of these were destroyed after her death by people who didn t think a woman should be pharaoh. Pharaoh Akhenaten changed the Egyptian religion to worship one primary god, Aten, a sun god, instead of Amun and the many gods of the Egyptian pantheon. His wife was the famous Queen Nefertiti. Because many people disagreed with the way he changed the religion and art (especially the priest class) when Akhenaten died, many of his monuments were destroyed and his name was removed from wall reliefs and statues. Tutankhamun ( King Tut ), the boy pharaoh, only ruled Egypt 9 years before he died, but before he did he restored Egypt s old oantheistic religion with Amun at its head. In 1922, English archaeologist Howard Carter found King Tut s tomb in he Valley of the Kings. This was an important discovery because this was the first time a tomb was found that had not already been emptied by robbers. Pharaoh Ramesses II, a great military leader, had many statues and monuments to himself erected all over Egypt

In 1822 it was translated by the French linguist Jean-François Champollion. This was the first time modern Europeans were able to read hieroglyphic script. The city of Alexandria is a great multi-cultural center of learning and commerce. The great library of Alexandria was built. It was later destroyed by Romans, Christians and Muslims. Battle of Actium: In 31 BCE the Romans went to war against the Egyptians. The Roman officer Mark Antony and the Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII fought together against Rome. Their love affair is a famous story and William Shakespeare wrote a play about it called, Antony and Cleopatra. They lost the battle and Egypt became part of the Roman empire.
